Chapter 609: The Convergence of Fates

When Sister Xue carefully adjusted the deployment of the expedition, the battle between the Imperial Army and the rebels on the planet Hoth, half a galaxy away, was also nearing the end. Vader was tracking his son's tracks with all his might, not feeling the faint fluctuations of the Force from Naboo as sensitively as the Emperor.

Although Vader was able to confirm the location of the rebel base, he lost the opportunity to fight due to a deployment mistake by the fleet commander and was unable to carry out the orbital blockade. After launching a ground campaign, the rebels' ground forces were quickly routed, but it was too difficult to find Luke in the chaos of the battlefield.

Luke had learned basic ways of disguising his Force fluctuations, making it difficult for Vader to spot him from a distance. After the main battle on the ground, Luke escaped from the planet Hoth, leaving Vader to pounce.

Disappointed, Vader did not despair, and although he did not find his son, several of Luke's close friends were targeted by him. A few men led by Captain Solo began to flee aboard the Millennium Falcon, but the Imperial fleet followed.

After some close tracking, the Millennium Falcon fled into an asteroid belt, and the Imperial Army began a slow search. It was only at this point that Vader, who had relaxed his nerves slightly, felt a burst of abnormality from Naboo.

He asked for an update from the ship's communications officer, and was surprised to find that news related to him had appeared in the galaxy's new hot news. Click on it to see that it was actually the body of his deceased wife stolen!

A surge of anger immediately reached his mind, although he didn't know who did it, and the specific reason, but under the anger, Vader almost lost control. Under the disturbance of the Force around him, the wide bridge he was on shook slightly.

Vader's ship is an Executor-class super Star Destroyer with a length of over 17 kilometers, making it the most powerful firepower platform in the Imperial fleet outside of the Death Star. As the tremors in the bridge gradually subsided. The officers and soldiers inside were intimidated.

No one knew what had provoked the Lord's anger, but they were all afraid that Vader's anger would pour out on them, especially the Admiral who had just taken over as Fleet Commander, who had witnessed his predecessor's death under the Lord's Force Locks less than a day earlier.

Although some of the small defeats in the previous battles could not be attributed to him, who knew that the enraged Vader would not throw the blame for chasing the enemy on his head? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pull his neckline with his hand. It was as if Vader would suffocate herself at any moment.

As the Admiral feared, Vader was the first to walk in her direction after the end of her anger and recovering to a semblance of normalcy. At this point, his heart was almost broken, and his mind was full of thoughts on how to shirk responsibility and intercede with Lord Vader.

"Lord Vader, we ......" the Admiral tried to explain as he wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead, but Vader interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Shut up, Admiral. I have a new quest for you! I'll be away for a few days, and while I'm away, the fleet's mission will continue to track down the Millennium Falcon. I don't care what method you use, but I don't find Han. Captain Solo and his party are not allowed to leave! ”

Vader gave such an order, and after that, he boarded a normal Emperor-class Star Destroyer and left the asteroid belt on the Star Destroyer, aiming for the newly stolen Naboo.

Naboo Star didn't expect that his little internal affairs problems would attract Vader, who is known as the "Imperial God of War". Since Vader came without any warning, the officials did not have time to prepare a welcome ceremony in line with Vida's identity.

However, Vader didn't care about this little problem at all, and he didn't care what anyone else thought in his eagerness to find out the truth. As soon as he logged in, he ordered the Imperial soldiers he brought with him to blockade Naboo's capital. Without giving any explanation to Naboo officials, he rushed with a small entourage to the site of Queen Amidala's mausoleum.

It had been years since he had returned to this land of memories. Like his hometown of Tatooine, Vader is afraid to return, and even if he is not like Tatooine, all he leaves behind on Naboo are fond memories.

Once upon a time, Naboo was his second home. Although Naboo's beauty has always been known throughout the galaxy, but for him. All the beautiful things on this planet combined can't compare to his wife.

Even after Queen Amidala's death, Vader secretly used his authority to interfere in some of Naboo's internal affairs, ensuring that as many qiē as possible related to Padmé could survive, so Naboo's palace would become Amidala's private mausoleum.

He did this qiē to keep as many good memories as possible of his time living here with his wife. This qiē shows what an infatuated person Vader is. Now, it is clear that someone has deprived him of this memory.

Whether it's the past as a Jedi or the present as a Sith Lord. No matter how many external upheavals he has experienced, Vader has not forgotten his feelings for his deceased wife. On the way, he had secretly vowed to find out who had stolen the Queen's body and punish him accordingly.

However, when he finally arrived at the scene, his mind changed. His entourage consists of his best agents and a handful of bounty hunters, who are particularly adept at reconstructing crime scenes and tracking them.

After some exploration at the site, most people came to the same conclusion, that is, no matter who stole the crystal coffin, they did not have any image of destroying the remains. Otherwise, the scene would never be as it is now.

"Can you be sure of your findings?" Bounty Hunter. Vader took a closer look at the scene and asked a heavily armed bounty hunter with a jetpack. If anyone is more familiar with the story of the Star Wars series here, they can definitely see at a glance that this bounty hunter is the famous Boba. Fett.

"I'll take my life, Lord Vader. No matter who removed the crystal coffin, they have made a full set of protective measures, if they just want to destroy it, with their technology, there is no need to remove the crystal coffin from the scene and destroy it......"

Boba. Fett was very confident in his conclusions, and according to his surveys, there was also a battle here. At least one Force warrior was involved in the battle, so it seems that the person who took the crystal coffin must have some special plan.

As for what the above qiē has to do with Vader, and why the Imperial God of War cares about a woman who has been dead for twenty years, he doesn't care about any of this. As a top bounty hunter, Boba. Fett is more than just an ordinary mercenary who plays with guns.

This sudden investigation wasn't the first time he had worked for Vader. He is well aware of the dangers of working for an employer like Vader, who values privacy and is called upon to deal with secrets that are invisible to ordinary people.

Despite the caution of both sides, Boba occasionally sees a lot of things that he knows he shouldn't see. If he were an ordinary mercenary, he would have been killed by Vader. But he was able to serve Guò again and again to make Vader use him more and more, which shows how strong his eyes are.

He had also heard some rumors about Vader's true identity behind the mask. Now it seems that his old employer may really be a famous combat hero in the Clone Wars, but like everyone else on the scene, he just does his job and doesn't ask questions.

After he, the other mercenaries and agents reported their findings to Vader, Vader told them all to leave the hall while she stayed where she was, meditating. Vader used Force Induction to restore some of the details of what happened at the scene, confirming the bounty hunters and agents' claims and discovering new clues.

For example, he sensed that there should have been two groups of people who had fought here briefly at the time of the incident, and what was even more amazing was that he sensed that one of the groups seemed to have a looming relationship with the emperor. The other group seems to have a connection to their fate!

It's kind of unbelievable, and Vader knows that most of his friends from the past are dead. It stands to reason that apart from the emperor and a few people who know their true identity, there should be no one who is directly related to their fate.

However, through Guò Force's induction, he sensed quite clearly that the person who stole his wife's body would intersect with his own fate in the near future, and as for whether this intersection would end well, the Force could not tell him. After figuring this out, Vader was no longer as anxious as she had been. As if he had figured something out, he immediately gathered everyone as soon as he left the hall and headed back.

The Force had made the future clear to him, and whoever did it would come to him soon. In this case, he doesn't need to rush to track down the other party, he should return to his original life track and wait for the moment of revenge!

As for the Emperor's role in this matter, Vader is not yet sure. But he also knew that it was impossible for him to get a direct answer from the emperor on such a question. Instead of asking the emperor, it is better to investigate in private.

In this way, Vader temporarily abandoned the investigation of the incident, and he returned to his fleet as fast as he could, continuing the pursuit of the Millennium Falcon. Although he was delayed for more than half a month because of Naboo's affairs, his fleet did not lose its target.

The Millennium Falcon's faster-than-light engine has never been fully repaired, and the spacecraft and its crew are still trapped in the depths of the asteroid belt. And Vader had clearly sensed where it was. If Vader wanted to, he could arrange for the fleet to force the Millennium Falcon out and destroy it now, but that wouldn't help him. The reason why Vader tracked the small ship was not because he had any interest in the people here, but because he wanted to find his son through the people.

For this reason, he decided to take a slight risk, deliberately let go of the Millennium Falcon, and covertly tracked its course, hoping to deceive Han. The group led by Solo and let them be their guides and finally found Luke. (To be continued......)
